All I know is my own experience, but with all three of our males we waited until they were over six months old and had fully dropped and developed testacles before we fixed them, and they are all quite large--like over four pounds. Of the other fuzzies we've run into, the ones who were fixed young are much smaller than our boys, while the ones who were not are closer to their size.
